Session 14 – No Going Back

Step 11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out

"Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing…Let the Word of Christ…have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives...Let every detail in your lives - words, actions, whatever - be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way" Colossians 3:15-17 The Message

Topic for thought

Today we start the second of the last three steps. Having completed the first nine steps we are now in a much healthier place and in order to maintain our recovery we simply need to apply Steps 10, 11 and 12. Step 11 is all about deepening our relationship with God, discerning his will in our lives and, most importantly, receiving his power to live the life that both he and we deep down want to live.

The Issue

The purpose of Step 11 is to help us see how building a relationship with God is essential for our recovery to be complete and this close relationship is built on communication. Just as in our day-to-day lives communication isn’t a one-way street, so our relationship with God is a two-way thing. Just talking to God through prayer is not enough. Just reading the bible is not enough. God wants to hear from us and he wants us to hear from him. So, we pray AND read AND, in meditation, listen to Him.
